im sorry, I meant 6x4, my mistake. Your theme is 6x5, Im trying to get a transparent drawer thats 6x4 to go with your theme. If its too difficult to do I understand. Stock rosie is 6x4, I think 6x5 looks very cluttered. I love your theme and the transparent drawer, just not the 6x5. Im sure some people like it, but im sure there are a bunch who prefer your theme with 6x4. Either way, even if you cant, thanks for the awesome theme. But one for the 3vo hands down

OK so I don't know if this a skin bug or a ROM bug so I'm reporting it in both threads just in case.

When I get a calendar notification when the screen is off, the sense calendar lockscreen widget that shows the month used to also show the date and no longer does.

I am using thyparency inverted skin and synergy ROM r184.

@thyrus - I have 2 theme related questions as well:

1- can you update ^^that skin^^ to theme the sense lockscreen widgets? Like the calendar is red, messaging blue, etc. It would look great to match all of them to the sense green like the OS calendar widget?

2- a couple friends and I are trying to figure out how to set the top statusbar more clear. Usually it would be systemUI.apk, but with sense 3.0, are there more pngs? Like phone.default, phone.incall, etc? Can you send me a PM (if you have time) about what would need changing and where.

EDIT: and +1 to the 6*4 trans BG drawer, my OCD likes it better, to match the rosie and lockscreen :)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
ad1: nope, these are m10 files that are in the respective idle-screen apks. I really have my hands full with the 3 variations of my theme already (sensation 2.3.3, sensation 2.3.4 now EVO) no I will not theme them ATM

ad2: if it would work correctly, i would have done it already. But transparency in the statusbar messes with so many things (actually, HTC sense does) like the browser and other incall/offcall shadings, where transparency just looks wrong cause you can see whats happening "behind" the statusbar, so it just looks plain crap. ::D

as to the rosie app drawer, i didnt even get around to modding mine on my 2.3.4 sensation, so i am afraid once I finished the theme for the evo, that will be it for a while ... until I get my own phone properly themed again :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
actually I dont. I dont have a device to verify it (looking at your screenshots, the XXXing phone alters between CDMA_dormant, CDMA connected, stat_sys_data_XXX-connected and then in/out/inandout. then 4G/wimax EvoDo on top of it, I am way lost!!!

You got access :

dormant state. using CMDA___Dormant png -> arrows underneath 3G

you got access and you are connected

3g connected using CDMA_Connected (arrows underneath 3g)

You go access and are connected, but somehow you use stat_sys_data_XXX-connected (arrows on top of 3g)

So for now, i wont do anthing to these annoying icons. I really would need an EVO and 4g to see what i am doing.

So, without further ado, here is the theme without RecentApps

DOWNLOAD without recent apps

Which means - I solved the puzzle and would consider my work complete. the rest doesnt need any smali/xml edits, so anyone with paint.net can do that (the annyoing icons with the CMDA states that mean nothing to me - and you would need to see it)
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
Flashing now, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
OK so, how about the issue I have with no date number on the lockscreen, do you think that's the skin or the ROM?

and if you could spare another minute, I think we may wanna try to trans the bar anyway, even though you don't like it, we might, and modding is fun. Could you let me know what all the various pngs are? if not that's of course fine too, I enjoy your work as it is :)
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I would need to check my memory, I did it with 2.1 sense a while back, but then gave up as i liked black better anyway.

statusbar_background.png is the normal background

then changed into statusbar_background_transparent.9.png and statusbar_background_opaque.9.png depending on state/app.

you would not only amend these, but also the way that sense adresses and uses these, so these are edits in a lot of apks
[HTC EVO 3D] :
about the question:

OK so, how about the issue I have with no date number on the lockscreen, do you think that's the skin or the ROM?

You are the first that reports this ever. i am still not 100% sure what the issue is, but then again, i only edited the m10 files (pngs) - > and what you seem to be experiencing is an issue with a idle_screen_lockscreen (different apk)
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
The cdma icons are referring to the 6-bar phone reception that Sprint uses (Verizon and other companies use 4 bar). The evdo is considered to be 1x data reception. One annoyance that the stock HTC framework does, is show all data transfers in 3g, when in reality, if you're in and area that has no 3g service, you may be actually using 1x (basically 2g data) but it still shows 3g in status bar.

The edit to use 6 bar phone reception is in a smali file, but of the top of my head I can't recall (htcstatusbarpolicy.smali maybe), and even the 3g/1x (evdo) may be in there too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
That being said can we see true 1x switch over in the rom or theme with u and viper
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
I'll look into it tonight after work...but in respect to Thyrus and his thread, any more questions pertaining to viperROM/the theme I made (using Thyrus' as a base) should go in that thread. Thank you
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
@escalade99

I ran into this issue at first. I flashed ViperMOD and immediately flashed the theme. This is NOT the way to do it. Flash ViperMOD, start your phone, do everything you need to do on a new rom (sign in to google, etc.), THEN reboot into recovery and apply the theme. After this, everything was working fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
Thanks

@Thyrus

I did not thank you on my first post, but I am grateful for the work that you have put into the theme. I originally asked how to change the transparency of the notification area (png/jpg/xml/whateverelse), but I read that your latest update has a darker notification area. I will try that and see how it looks.

I don't want you to make a change to YOUR theme just because I want a change, I just need guidance to do it myself. Thanks again for your work.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
no worries :D

knowing I cannot please everyone with the level of transparency, I edited the systemui.apk in a way that everyone can customise themselves.

Just edit the "status_bar_background.png" in systemui.apk/drawable-hdpi to your liking, then re-add as "store only" (not compressed) to the systemui.apk archive, re-zip and apply - and you are set.

Currently a gradient is used, 100% black on top and gradient to about 70% transparency in the bottom, giving you a smoked look when pulling down/up
[HTC EVO 3D] superx337:
I was using RC1 with Synergy (currently on the latest SVN 218). Just upgraded to RC2 (with recent) and lost my title bar. Any quick ideas before I do a full wipe?

I was able to get the title bar back by reflashing 218, unfortunately the transparency of quick setting/status bar is unreadable (black text on dark background).
[HTC EVO 3D] stabby:
This theme is amazing. I notice that your screen shots don't have the location icons and my phone does. Do you know how I can either hide them or what the image files are that need to be replaced so i can use green ones to match the rest of the theme.

For reference i'm talking about these:

and
[HTC EVO 3D] :
i always wondered what these icons are on the HTC EVO. They are not enabled in the Sensation GSM versions
[HTC EVO 3D] Vesnik:
Thyrus, am I mistaken or is your new battery with percentage not included yet?

I've downloaded your theme and extracted the framework-res yet it's not in there. It's the default gingerbread battery with no percentages.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
it sure is - there are 200+ pngs in framwork-res.apk

stat_sys_battery_xx.png and stat_sys_battery_charge_animXX.png
[HTC EVO 3D] Vesnik:
Weird, I'll download it again and check it out.

EDIT: Sorry I'm an idiot, decompiled the wrong framework-res. Got it thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
ps - those of you asking for a new rosie.apk

I just completed my rosie.apk for 2.3.4- turned out to be a 5*5 drawer, less cluttered than the 6*5 drawer, but better than a 6*4 drawer. I can modify the one in the evo to match it if you want in the next update if you want.

Didnt amend font size yet, as otherwise i will have to completely re-do the entire dimensions. and I am a lazy MOFO these days:rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] Success100:
FANTASTIC!
[HTC EVO 3D] TMartin:
That looks great!!
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
OK. Noe I'm missing the status bar. :/was working with the synergy nightlys just fine before. The latest 217 doesn't work.

Tried wiping cache and dalvik and reflashing theme. No go.

Are We Not Phones?

We are EVO.

ARE WE NOT PHONES?!

3DEVO!
[HTC EVO 3D] Cj719:
Hey Thyrus quick theme question..ok once CM7 those guys are editing a xml file for the nitifcation bar to center the clock and relocate icons to the leftside. Apparently this can be done on any 2.3 rom, do you think you could give a swing at it? Thread is in android theme section

Joelz Rom 3vo
[HTC EVO 3D] Juan12345:
Anyone else have their benchmark scores drop with this Theme? I really like the look of GingerThyparancy, but it dropped my Antutu benchmark scores drop from ~4400 to ~3600 using Viper's ROM. I verified this by wiping everything, reloading the ROM, benchmarking, then reloading this theme and benchmarking again, twice. Aesthetically this theme looks amazing, but it just slows my phone down too much.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
A theme will never have any impact on things like speed. As long as the base is the same (ie. the rom is from the same base framework as the theme). As I said many times, I dont know the EVO Roms, and the developers will typically update their ROMS with different bases as they progress. I am sure that the devs will soon update to the 2.3.4 base, at which point all themes (with the exception of my and other peoples skin versions) will become unusable.

I used the VIPERROM Framwork from Aug 7th (whatever version that was) as the base for the 2.1 Version of my EVO theme.

Furthermore, benchmarks mean nothing in smartphones. I go by the overall feel and speed of the ROM, not artificial numbers - unlike on a gaming PC where the benchmarks on 3d are not plain artificial.

I can and could, but I really dont like this look. And you will get issues with notification bleeding (adb connected, text messages received etc etc) into the centered clock.

They probably changed to a different rom base in their nightlies. Hence you get these issues - nandroid, then wipe all, install the nighly and then boot. once you did your initial setup, reboot and apply theme again. see if that helps
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Anyhow, I have updated some of the theme content. tweaked the notification pulldown a bit - feedback?!
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
dude my mind is seriously blown away things looks beautiful! damn wish i had badass themeing skills like you!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
thanks Kevin... It isnt rocket science though. :) And you guys can do that yourselves if you read up on theming a bit.

I changed:

Notification background, gradient now from 90% (top) to about 60 percent (bottom transparency)

StatusBar_handles (notifications and Quicksettings)

StatusBarClose_on_X Bar (no more transparency, didnt like that the Rosie icons shined through all the time) and resized draw-9 patch so the "logo" isnt stretched anymore. Also adapted the "logo" with the proper Theme name whilst I was at it

And I just realised that GoogleChrome does something to the embedded screenshots. Always blamed Drocap2, but it is indeed Chrome. Opening the same website in IE shows the screenshots correctly.... anyone know how I could force disable this in Google Chrome?!
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
Nice change indeed.

EDIT: did you make the status bar icons have this glow effect or is that just drocap being bright?
[HTC EVO 3D] vTeCz:
Definitely checking rc2 out. Really diggin' this theme. Thank you for all your work.
[HTC EVO 3D] HelicopterShowdown:
gunna be using this for sure
[HTC EVO 3D] :
and tried to add a touch of GB to the Widget Icons. Not sure I am happy yet....
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
nice but i agree that green just jumps out at you :D love the theme though
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
the white part is a bit too light. the contrast is a bit too low. maybe if you make the white more gray?...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
next attempt
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
it looks good. you should apply this transparancy gradiant to these widgets too
[HTC EVO 3D] :
you mean the icons or the widgets? the icons already have it (hard to see, and depends on the wallpaper), but I didnt want to mess with the wiget frames/backgrounds anymore :)
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
Capisco, this is good then :D

but did you make those icons in the status bar glow?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
didnt change them at all, must be browser or drocaps.
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
definitely drocap lol
[HTC EVO 3D] :
final design proposal - contrast now all the way down, as Gingerbread goes well with black or a transparent black :-)

Need to change the annoying calendar icon though, the XXXing angle of 23.37% tilt is killing me, keeps distorting my images....
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
perfect. and yea that angle pisses me off too :/
[HTC EVO 3D] :
well, I think I just need to go back to the stock icon, but with transparency enabled, contrast down and GB with a light transparency for the calendar face
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
hmm. your call. maybe you can render a new icon in 3d at this angle it looks doable
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I am a person that knows Android pretty well, and theming is just part of it. i am not a graphic designer, so I dont have a 3D render SW and as much as I would love to - I wont get one for just one icon :)

if you or someone else wants a shot at it, I would be very glad :)
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
so what will you call this version? 2.0.0.0.1?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I dont know - I would normally call it FINAL, but there will never be a final.

Most probably something else :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
version 2.[insert catchy phrase here]

GingerThyparancy V1.0 - NOW on the market (so excited, my first market app)

GingerThyparancy V1.0 (no more release candidate)

- Once downloaded, please leave a comment, my first ever Android Market upload, so I am happy

- it is 30mb in size, as the app needs to be zipaligned, and unfortunately I had to either have a zipaligned app that works fine - or a smaller download size.

- once downloaded, activate the GingerThyparancy V1.0 skin in customize -> skins

The other 3 (arched, inverted, inverted arched) will be uploaded tomorrow.

I will also supply updates to the skins via the market now. I obviously cannot do that with the FullTheme, these will stay on XDA :)
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
great stuff. will be waiting for the inverted :D
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
nevermind lol
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
Thy please upload inverted to the market

If you don't have an Evo3d well ...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I will - little patience please:-) need to re-do all m10s for that, otherwise you will see artifacts :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mcmikecruz1:
No prob glad your still around , even if just for this one full theme in a little to old for the others out there

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXPCS:
Hey Thyrus - kick ass theme dude. Only one i use. I have a question though. I just flashed GingerThyparancy FULLTHEME RC2.0 EVO 3D - with recent apps and I have no clock, battery or icons, drop down or anything up top. Did I miss something and is there any way to get it back without nandroiding back? I'm on the Synergy ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] :
all these errors with statusbar disappering seem to come with the synergy rom.

you may have to ask someone running the device, however, i would nandroid

- then wipe

- then reinstall ROM (synergy)

- boot into device, initial setup until you get to rosie

- reboot device into recovery

- flash theme

- reboot

see if that helps
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXPCS:
Will give it a shot, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I have played around with rosie, and amended the 5*5 rosie a bit - you can now add your custom background to it. Means you can do with it whatever you like.

examples (this is an example, you can do whatever you wish, have it 100% transparent, semi transparent, a picture of your mom, a little transparency and a picture and so on and so on.)

All you need to do is change one picture, and you are set.

feedback?
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
Looks good. I hope we still have 6*5 roses...
[HTC EVO 3D] :
All versions are now on the market

About damn time! Downloading now
[HTC EVO 3D] saenz4931:
How do I change the pic, or make it 100% clear ?... Any instructions?..

Thanks

send from EL DEMONIO
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I will post the instructions with the amended theme (when uploaded).

Somehow, I am not sure what you guys want - some complain about thr 6*5 version being too cluttered (which I agree to), some like the 6*5s....

Ah well - guess I will have to make a decisision before I release the update of the theme.
[HTC EVO 3D] kungpu:
You can't please everybody .. I say go with whatever you think is best, it is your theme after all. You've done amazing work so far, can't wait for the update.
[HTC EVO 3D] neopolotin75:
Looks good. You are a machine. I was diggin through your theme because I was going to replace the standard gps icon with the gingerbread ion...I thought it might be in frameworkrs.apk or htcresources.apk but I couldnt find it....ideas where its hiding?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
the US version have a different way of adressing it... just fininishing my work on the sensation 2.3.4 rom, then you guys will get your update. :-)

Whilst I am at it, I will have a look for the GPS icons. It would be in systemui.apk, but is adressed differently by 2 xml files in the layout or values folder.
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
Not to be a downer but how would you deal with this. there seems to still be contrast issue especially with music players (google music and PowerAMP mainly for me) here is a screenshot of what i mean. you cant see the song name or what the name of the file youre downloading/uploading in this case with dropbox.
[HTC EVO 3D] neopolotin75:
Ill shall look there thanks. I pulled this google search box from Myns RLS5 which looks and works great if anyone wants it...it blends nicely.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
the upload fixing was on my to-do list anyhow.

BUT - you can customize PowerAmp

before:

then select this in options look and feel

and it will look like THIS

doesnt work with google, but then again, how many musicplayers does one need.

poweramp and HTC music should suffice :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
Hmm maybe something with google music (which i use sparingly) Ok powerAMP is good to go thanks. :P I froze HTC Music, garbage player.

upload and download are not ok. i use stock and miren browers
[HTC EVO 3D] :
can you please send me (or attach) the downloadprovider.apk pls?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
ok .. nobody then. Fine, i took it from viperrom. lets see if my changes on it worked.

I wont update the OP before I hear from you - remember, dont have an EVo, cannot test anything prior to release - blind hacking/programming/or whatever you wanna call it.

THEME UPDATE:

NEW: New 5*5 Rosie.apk included.

So what?!

Well - you can now customize your own background as you would like. Add a picture of your loved ones, or a wallpaper, set transparency with a gradient, without a gradient, have it pure black, 100% transparent, whatever you would like.

HOW-TO CHANGE ROSIE BACKGROUND:

Copy Rosie.apk (either from my Theme or from your device) to your PC

Open Rosie.apk (resides in /system/app) in 7-zip or Winrar or whatever archieving app you might use

In the Rosie.apk, you will find an image file in res->drawable-hdpi called applistbackground.png

Copy that image (applistbackground.png) somwhere on your PC for editing

Modify as you please. Once you are satisfied, save as applistbackground.png again

Copy that modified image back to Rosie.apk, but do NOT let winrar or 7-zip compress it (store only in winrar)

Once that is done, use zipalign to re-align the Rosie.apk (google sdk android zipalign for how to do that. (this is not MANDATORY, the Rosie will work without zipalign, but properly zipaligning is highly recommended for batterylife)

The "new" Rosie.apk, properly zipaligned, not needs to go back to your device into the system/app folder. There are multiple ways to do that.

Copying it to /data first, setting permissions 644 (rw-r-r) in root explorer, then copying it to /system/app and overwriting the old rosie.apk. You can then reboot your device and should see the changes upon reboot.

The safer way I would simply be to use my "theme" download archive (the .zip of my themes) - extract the archive with folders, delete all files in /data/app and /system/app and system/framework, the copy the new Rosie.apk to /system/app. Then re-zip all content of the archive (so keeping my folder structure intact, the folders on the first level should be data, system and META-INF. Do not modify anything in the META-INF folder. Save new archive with a different name (such as Rosie.zip or MyRosie.zip or whatever).

Then copy that new zip file to your SD card, and flash in recovery.

That should be it.

HOW-TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION PULLDOWN BACKGROUND:

Just like I explained for Rosie, but this time, take the SystemUI.apk from the archive or device.

The image is stored in drawable-hdpi as well, called status_bar_background.png.

Proceed just like with Rosie, same process just different image name and file name.​

Examples:

DOWNLOAD LINKS will come later tomorrow

Thanks for my old "mentor" he_stheone64 for this hint.
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
oh **** i didnt see your post...here you go
[HTC EVO 3D] :
all changes i made should be ok - not sure if rosie will work, there were about 10 xmls i needed to adapt, and i could have easily got a typo in or similar - so please provide some feedback -and NANDROID before you test :rolleyes::cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
At work cant really be "editing" anything...but 5*5 rosie? really? 6*5 is better. how do i revert to that?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Ok guys dont use the theme please
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
relax bro. backup now and flashing
[HTC EVO 3D] DeathBySnuggles:
Same here. Sense FC after flash. Reverted back to rc2.
[HTC EVO 3D] pgergen91:
Just curious if it's just me having this, I'm running viper with this and the transparent notification works great except the voicemail text is black and i can't read it. Anyone else experiencing this?
[HTC EVO 3D] INebilim:
HTC Sense FC upon flash as well BUT i do like the new notification dropdown :D
[HTC EVO 3D] :
should be related to rosie - so I repacked V1.0 with the old 6*5 rosie (but without the ability to add custom backgrounds)

given the fact you guys are not fond of 5*5 anyhow...

V1.0 EVO No recent apps - old rosie

V1.0 EVO with recent apps- old Rosie
[HTC EVO 3D] stabby:
I like the 5*5 rosie, but I'm sure I'll get used to the 6*5
[HTC EVO 3D] DeathBySnuggles:
+1 on the 5 x 5 rosie. But the 6 is fine too. So long as the density is adjusted accordingly. I HATE 5 row on the OG because the text got all cluttered.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Is this theme supposed to change the google search bar? I ask becuase mine looks normal, yet Ive seen pics where it looks black ><
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
Not installing :'(
[HTC EVO 3D] mptherealmp:
Use adb push the apk to /system/app and chmod 644 and reboot

or

with rootexplorer in read/write mode, copy apk to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
THanks, I was trying to straight install with adb, Ill try this =D

EDIT: Yup, it worked, Im a noob =)
